Thursday's victory has been needed immensely for Sri Lanka after the way things went for them in the past year and in this series. The victory not only helped them to reach the final, would also help them in terms of morale in the dressing room.
The visitors hope the same to be shown on Saturday in the final, and it's the time for them to start the things, to place in right away to take the momentum forward in their Cricket, which has been lacking for some time now.
On the other side, Bangladesh after dominating performance in first three games, disseminated by a fight shown by Sri Lanka. The loss might be a pretty early call for them thankfully, as it showed how things will be if they don't show intensity.
A win in final is important for them as it for Sri Lanka, as both sides have to prove their worth in international Cricket after what happened in recent past. However, it's interesting to see which team shows intensity under pressure to win the final, as the win will separate the team - from other two.
